    Osaka to Kyoto

    A one and a half hour coach ride to Kyoto this morning. Inage found a novel way to teach us to say the numbers one to ten:-
    1-Itchy 2-Knee 3-Sun 4-She 5-Go
    6-Rock 7-Hitch 8-Hutch 9-Queue 10-Jule

    Kyoto was the capital of Japan from 794 to 1868, therefore it is sometimes called the thousand year capital.

    On arrival in Kyoto we travelled to the Arashiyama bamboo forest. We had plenty of time to walk around before heading for the coach and lunch.
